Discussion Items/Action Items:

A. Board of Trustees Self-Assessment Retreat and Draft Goals for 2012-2013 – On August 6 and 7 the Board of Trustees participated in a retreat that focused on Board roles and best practices. Facilitated by Dr. Narcisa Polonio of the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT), the Board also identified some tentative goals and priorities for the coming year. Most of these goals were related either to the self-assessment or the accreditation recommendations, or both.

B. Recommendation #14: Board of Trustees Plan – Recommendation #14 pertains strictly to Board organization, performance and effectiveness. Thus the team members are the entire board and they need to confirm the response plan and determine who will take responsibility for carrying out the various components of the plan. The Chancellor will present a draft plan based on the accrediting team report and the specific responses in Recommendation #14.

C. Accreditation Progress Report – The Chancellor and the Accreditation Liaison Officer (ALO), Gohar Momjian will present a comprehensive report on the structure, activities, timeline and progress of the workgroups addressing the 14 recommendations and unmet eligibility requirements cited by the Accrediting Commission.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees review the report, provide direction
as needed and approve the working plans.
